LAS CRUCES - Cecilia Flores speaks of the trials and tribulations she endured while a victim to domestic violence during the second annual National Crime Victims' Week. Flores said her husband at the time shot her in the lung and drove her out to the desert where he left her die. However, she overcame the odds and beat death and now advocates for crime victims.

Friends and family members of crime victims gathered with heavy hearts Saturday to remember and honor their loved ones who have fallen victim to crimes during the second annual National Crime Victims' Week at Klein Park in Las Cruces.
